About SA Van Conversions //
The SA Vans head office is located in KwaZulu-Natal, Durban. We have two factories – one based in KZN and the other in the Eastern Cape, Uitenhage. We engineer and assemble our custom panel vans at these facilities. Currently, we employ over 80 highly skilled workers, across both locations, who have many years of experience in the van conversion industry.
Our Beginnings //
SA Van Conversions Pty Ltd was established by Michael McLoughlin, Hazel Angus and Siphelele Ntsobi when they decided to partner up, with the intention to close the innovation gap within the auto space industry. Together, the team have built an internationally recognised company that is known for their high level of quality and their exceptional engineering efficiency. With each partner having at least 15 years of experience in van customisation, the team pools an extensive skillset, offering customers all-round excellence.
